Gameweek 32 concludes at Selhurst Park as Crystal Palace – with victories in four of their last five Premier League matches – look to maintain their recent revival against London rivals Arsenal.

Sam Allardyce’s’ Eagles have kept clean sheets in their last two home outings but a shut-out looks unlikely this evening: they face an Arsenal side who have scored in each of their previous twenty matches in the Premier League, with key Fantasy asset Alexis Sanchez a big factor in that statistic.

The Chilean has notched 12 goals and supplied five assists on the road this season – more than any other player – and is backed by 309,000+ or 7% with the captaincy this evening.

He’s supported by an in-form Theo Walcott, with the FPL midfielder boasting goals in back-to-back Gameweeks as he bids to provide us with a cheaper alternative to Sanchez. Impressively, Walcott has scored 18 goals from his last 23 starts in all competitions.

    Going to get Benteke. Palace look really good. That was a goal had it not been for a brilliant last ditch block

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I actually want benteke this week more then Kane lol

  2. ILOVEBAPS

    Zaha really is good. Playing like Sanchez should be!

  3. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Zaha certainly looking tempting. Pity he can't play Arsenal every week.

  4. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Zaha looks more like a 9m midfielder.

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Can you buy him then and give me the change?

  5. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    King -> Zaha/Townsend for -4?

    Other mids are Sanchez, Alli, Coutinho & Siggy.

    1. Tony Moon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No way. Look at King's fixtures after this weekend.

    Tekkers finally looks like he cares, not before when i had him for 20 gws

    1. matiakez
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He's got form for late season streaks hasn't he?

  7. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Eriksen + Aguero + Gestede -> Kane + Zaha + Benteke -8 ?

    ya or na?

  8. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Just a 'In Wenger we trust' banner.. in the Palace end 😀

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd like to see 'In Wenger we're trussed' at the Arseanl end.

  9. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I see Zaha is passing the eye test on here!

  10. FISSH
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez > Zaha

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Transfer or Algebra?

      1. FISSH
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        transfer

        1. Woy of the Wovers
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Might work for GW34.

  11. rivercityransom
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    can't believe zaha is not even on the watchlist

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He's "under the radar". I don't have access to that list.

    Bloomin hell this is scary not owning any Palace attacker ...

  14. Bubz

    Arsenal are getting destroyed

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      They need to splash the cash on a midfield general who can pass and tackle... 😉

  15. Totally !rre!evant
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Xhaka has been shocking tonight

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Clearly a one off

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Just tonight?

  16. Teahupo'o
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Mind-boggling to think Palace shipped 4 to Sunderland a month ago.

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, that was our darkest hour. How we have improved since then.

  17. Kloppen Schloppen
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    AFCON really killed Zaha's progress as an asset this season. Was killing it beforehand and it took him a while to get the "mojo" back. Glad it's back now though 🙂

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Southgate's fault. Was bang in form at the last call up but overlooked one to many times :/

  18. Pique boo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Siggy to Zaha

  19. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Danny Welbeck - get him off. Get Giroud on and switch to 3-5-2 IMO.

  20. FISSH
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    anyone Wilcarding this week? Considering it

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      This or next

    2. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      considering if fixtures are out this week

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        DGW ones

    3. faver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      me too. i have things to sort out in my team. if any bandwagon creates untill gw 37 ill sort it with ft's or hits (i hope not)

    4. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Been a bad weekend to it's hard to resist, want to stick to the plan and hold out until after gw34 though.

  21. Individual
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    First time I've seen Sanchez on the ball this half just now!

  22. Guvnor
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Walker headed for a price drop?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  23. Sleep Talk
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Alexis and Gabbi to Kane and Zaha simple right?

  24. _Make
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Arsenal are pathetic. I'm a neutral and I'll be glad when Wenger goes. No plan, no discipline, no shape. No clue. Ridiculous.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      This! Great club great stadium great players let down by the manager at the moment

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        The players have nothing to do with it? Really?

        1. _Make
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          It doesn't matter anymore. They don't respect him enough to play for him.

          1. how now brown cow
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            That's my point. Why sympathy for ranieri when he was in same situation?

      2. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Great players in strong. There are a few, but they're being let down by the other, much less great players.

        1. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Exactly.

  25. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Wenger seen enough. Big Donkey coming on

  26. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Are the people saying they want Benteke watching the game? 😕

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Former Rondon owners. Poor souls have no perspective anymore.

  27. WVA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    All Wenger had to do was keep playing Sanchez up front

    1. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Changing Sanchez from striker back to a wide player has to be one of the worst decisions I've ever seen in the prem. What the hell did he stand to gain by doing that?...Arsenal and Alexis were scoring for fun and flying high...

      Why would you change it?

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I have no clue either, brilliant move to put him as striker in the first place though, have to give him credit for that.

      2. WVA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        It's typical of him to change things for the sake of it, they were so good before, absolutely no reason to move him out wide other than pride imo.

  28. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I got laughed at earlier in the season for saying Zaha was actually one of the best mids in the prem....both attacking wise and tracking back....and he is,

    He'd be a monster pick of Hazard proportions in a top notch team.

    1. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nobody laughed at you Wakey. Everyone basically laughed at Zaha.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He has the potential to be a really top player. It's a shame he's not English we could do with him....Oh wait....errrr....mmmmm.

        1. Hughes Your Daddy
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yep, nice one Southgate, picking out of form players from bigger teams instead of Zaha.

    2. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No way would I have laughed at you on that, just go to whoscored comparisson site, put him alongside other English midfielders, not many come above him.

  29. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Wenger should just name Allardyce as his successor.
